How we handle bath repair in Alveston
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. If you’re dealing with an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can help, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Alveston
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Signs you need bath repair in Alveston
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- If travel is included in the price
- What prep work is covered
- How the colour is matched
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Alveston. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BS35 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Have new chips seen to early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
